Talks are underway between India and China at the Brigade Commander and Commanding Officer (CO) level in the Galwan area of Eastern Ladakh to resolve the stand-off, defence sources said on Monday.
“There has been limited disengagement of troops at more locations due to the continuous rounds of talks going on between the two sides,” they said.
Sources said that after the June 6 talks between Military commanders followed by other rounds of talks, there has not been any considerable build-up activity by both sides and Chinese aggressive behaviour has also been toned down, they said.
At the military commanders’ meet, the talks between the two armies were agreed upon to be held at Patroling point 14 (Galwan area), Patrolling point 15 and Hot Springs area.
The Chinese Army had earlier pulled back its troops from the Galwan Valley, PP-15 and Hot Springs in Eastern Ladakh area by 2 to 2.5 kilometres, they said. The Indian side has also brought back some of its troops and vehicles from these areas.
Sources said talks are being held on these points at the Battalion commander level on these locations and they have had hotline talks with their counterparts. The initial talks were being held in those areas and the Chinese activities had also started in Eastern Ladakh from this location only, they said.
